(j -f. " llllHlll'lll"' '! THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS BY WALDO TONDRAY WARREN WHY MISTAKES ARE MADE MISTAKES do not "happen" they are the results of causes. A vast measure of time, money, and oppor tunity Is lost In making mistakes and trying to rectify them. To correct mistakes Is a good work, but to prevent them Is a far higher achievement.

I have great deal more leniency for a mis take due to Ignorance than for one due to carelessness. But I do not believe In abusing an employ for a mistake.

"And what about correcting It7" "Usually I require him to look Into the matter and report to me, and show me Just exactly how the mistake happens!.
